Intel I210T1BLK

Overview

The Intel I210T1BLK is a single port PCI Express x1 Ethernet server adapter designed to provide reliable gigabit network connectivity for desktops, workstations, and entry-level servers. It supports network speeds of 10, 100, and 1000 megabits per second over standard RJ45 cabling, making it suitable for tasks like large file transfers and virtual machine traffic. Its compact single-slot design ensures it fits easily into most modern systems without occupying valuable expansion lanes.

Key features

• PCI Express x1 interface offers broad compatibility and easy installation in a wide range of systems.
• Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds to deliver fast and stable network connections for demanding workloads.
• Operates over Cat 5 or better RJ45 cabling up to 100 meters, allowing flexible network setups.
• Includes both low profile and full height brackets to accommodate different chassis sizes and simplify upgrades.
• Built-in Intel Ethernet power management reduces energy consumption during periods of low network activity.
• Complies with IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging and IEEE 802.3 flow control standards for smooth integration with managed switches and existing infrastructure.
• Single slot form factor preserves expansion space for other components like storage or graphics cards.

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter fits into any PCI Express x1 slot, which is common on most modern motherboards for desktops and servers. It works seamlessly with standard Ethernet networks using RJ45 connectors and supports common cabling standards, ensuring compatibility with existing network infrastructure. The inclusion of both bracket types means it can be installed in compact small form factor cases as well as full-size towers without additional hardware.

Performance and reliability

Designed to handle network traffic efficiently, the adapter supports gigabit speeds that help reduce bottlenecks during large data transfers or virtual machine operations. Intel’s power management technology lowers energy use when network demand is low, which is beneficial for systems running continuously. Compliance with VLAN and flow control standards ensures stable and manageable network performance in professional environments.

Ideal uses and environments

This Ethernet adapter is well suited for IT professionals upgrading older systems, building home labs, or adding redundancy to small office servers. Its reliable gigabit connectivity and energy-saving features make it a practical choice for environments where consistent network performance and power efficiency are important. The single slot design also makes it a good option for users who need to preserve expansion slots for other hardware.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
